I do not feel that Christmas is coming
We have slowly but surely built up a kind of preconception that in the near future we have to become someone other than what we are. I mean, we need to put our hand in our pockets, look for the wallets and start giving. It is up to us to lift our eyes from the ground and look to the people around us, to appreciate those who still smile and make a compliment if we are given the opportunity. Let's get out of our comfort zone and redeem all these things we did not want / could do throughout the year until the winter holidays. A kind of hypocrisy promoted with a smile on the lips and finally applauded. You do not take it as if I were against the good deeds. I am just against these extremely wrong attitudes that limit us to being good. Yeah, I know, markting people do their best, and that verse does not think he's a person who does not know him "Christmas is better ..."
However, why do not I feel that Christmas is coming this year? Because people, at least those I have around me, have grown a lot. They have grown in kindness and their Christmas is from the beginning until the end of the year. I have learned precious things about how to give, even if you think you have nothing. How can you influence someone without even knowing that you did. About how you can be good without so many motives and impulses given by holidays.

I do not feel that Christmas comes because I refused to do good only at this time of year. I refused to buy the gifts that my friends want and just because it's a good reason to offer them for Christmas. It is a kind of hypocrisy that continues to spread and begins to bother me more and more. Why? Because a few weeks ago I bought a lot of gifts in the idea that I knew people needed them, but I kept them hidden in the closet until Christmas morning. It's absolutely fascinating when the whole family is gathered around the tree and while listening to carols begins to unpack the gifts. I think I would not replace that little event with anything, but I would not want to lose the essence. I would not want to stop giving up just because we know we'll be giving Christmas. I would not want to stop making gifts and not surprise us with the fear of staying naked and inspirational for the beautiful morning after Eve.
I do not feel that Christmas is coming because I chose to focus my attention on the people who constantly give us year round without being constrained by a celebration that does not make us good because we were bad and not selfish because we were selfish but better because a better place is always and more generous because we will always have to give to others, even if it's only a short time and our embrace.
Christmas was not and is not about giving, but rather about offering more and more! Let's share everything we have, but Christmas is just the beginning of a sharing action that will last until Christmas. Divide nicely from the beauty that you have in your pockets, in the chambers and in the hearts!
Beautiful tree. You are so right about the philosophy of giving, providing cheer and support all year long. And, Christmas is a time for acknowledging each other's specialness.
That the sun is beginning a new cycle during the Winter Solstice, and stands still for 3 divine days, gives us even more reason to celebrate and show appreciation for powers beyond ourselves.
Thank you for giving pre-Christmas cheer.
